    If I had to choose between them I'd go for the copper trace. It's easy enough to put iodine in drinkers for cattle.

    Do you need selenium on your land as well OP?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I know both bolus are much of a much, have people found the higher concentrated Copper bolus to be better? I have been using the High Iodine just wondering.

    We use Animax Allsure bolus, as we are in a high molybdenum area.

    This year I bought an Animax calf bolus applicator PR4194, with the intention of using it to insert Synulox tablets into a calf, and avoid their sharp teeth while trying to get it down their throat.

    Does anyone have one of these Animax calf applicators as the one I received has only one internal grip, as opposed to the adult Animax bolus applicator which has 2 insert grips, one at either side of the barrel.
